Kevin Durant has his eyes on Devin Booker

While on the Old Man and The Three podcast, Kevin Durant revealed his favorite player in the NBA. Surprisingly, it was Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns. He had immense praise for Book saying he is on his way to mastering who he is as a player. In addition, Durant also thinks Book knows how to win while still being elite.

Durant said, “This is a pretty game for one, but I just think he is mastering who he is right now. He’s figuring it out. Like how to play at an elite level, but I still win. Because he is always scoring the ball, but he knows how to win.”

Ever since coming into the league, it was clear as day Book was a special talent. His scoring prowess rivals some of the best in today’s game. At just 25, he became the 4th youngest player to score 11000 points only behind Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and his idol, Kobe Bryant. Averaging nearly 27 points this season, the Suns guard is already one of the best players in the league.
